Explain in terms of electron movement what happens when a polythene rod becomes charged negatively by being rubbed with a cloth

Answer»

Answer:   When a polythene rod is RUBBED with a DUSTER, the friction causes electrons to GAIN energy. Electrons gain enough energy to leave the atom and 'rub off' onto the polythene rod. The polythene rod has gained electrons, giving it a NEGATIVE charge.
